Staying with the theme of the stories we do not tell, one way that we do tell them is anonymously. I can think of no other web project that has explored this concept better than Postsecret. I think pretty much everyone knows about this website, but if you haven’t seen it or haven’t checked in on it in awhile, it’s always worth a visit. The image and usually just a sentence or two on the featured postcards are often haunting and thought-provoking. I often find myself either personally identifying with the confession in some way, or feeling like I really want to know more of the whole story. Some I just raise my eyebrows and shake my head and then try to forget, because they are so chilling. The stories we do not tell… or how we tell the stories that we are afraid to tell. Those are often the best stories, the ones that have the most to offer, the ones with the deepest and most moving insights.

So here’s the deal. I have two copies of the Postsecret book to giveaway. The first two people who leave a relevant comment on this post (not just “First” or something like that), we’ll mail you a copy of the book. Make sure you provide an email address in the email address field when you comment so we can get in touch. (Your email will not be made public).
